Cask@The Fat Cat Pub, Norwich. Amber colour, small head. Aroma is mild spies, malts, some toasted notes as well as some nuttyness. Flavour is toasted malts, quite spicy notes (clove, cinnamon and mild coriander) and some wooden notes as well. Pleasantly balanced.

Cask (gravity) - The Fat Cat, Norwich. Noted at 5%. Poured with a fine & disappearing beige head & a clear, chestnut brown body. Delicate spicy malts & roast on the nose. Initially too cold but warmed alright. OK spice, straight malts & slightly herbals on the tongue. Light to medium body, mostly soft palate, light in terms of bitterness with some tang at the end.
